Wilmette man arrested for indecent solicitation of child

A Wilmette man has been charged with felony indecent solicitation of a child, according to a Wilmette Police Department news release.

Michael R. Rosenberg, 63, of the 400 block of Linden Avenue in Wilmette, was arrested Thursday after a two-day Internet police investigation on Wednesday and Thursday. During those two days, Rosenberg allegedly agreed to “various sexual acts” with what he thought was an underage girl and offered to buy her alcohol, police said.

But when Rosenberg agreed to a meeting on Thursday, according to the release, he found instead the Wilmette police at this door and was apprehended.

Rosenberg was released Friday, under a condition of electronic monitoring, on $20,000 bond. He’s due in court on April 22.
